Ponsot, Clos de Vougeot, Vieilles Vignes 2012 SPAIN Despite the extended time in94 96 points Wine Advocate From barrel, the 2012 Clos de Vougeot Cuvee Vieilles Vignes has one of my favourite bouquets with wonderful vibrancy, mineralite and tension. The palate has a beguiling sense of symmetry and tension, blessed with precocious, beautifully aligned mineral rich black and red fruit towards the finish. One of the best Clos de Vougeot this year.
